II. Land + settlement
II. Land + settlement
River, lakes: All the rivers are not really long,
only Thames river is the biggest one. Mostly
small rivers, connected by isthmus system.
*The longest river (River Severn - 354 km long)
flowing through both Wales and England
*The deepest lake (Lorch Morar -309 metres
deep).
Scenery changes noticeably over quite a short
distances
II. Land + settlement
Mountain: not very high compared with some
range of mountains in Europe like Alps or the
Pyrenees. Highest is Ben Nevis_ Scotland
(1334m).
Coastline: remarkable and diversified (17.819
km long with 1000 islands..)


II. Land + settlement
England (Most of Englands topography: plains and
mountains to the northwest)
London (the largest city in Europe) dominates
Britain.
Home for the headquarters of all government
departments, Parliament, the major legal institutions
and the monarch.
1 mill work, but less than 1000 people actually live
The majority live in surburbs
In its decline for being dirty , neglected but still
attract tourist.
II. Land + settlement
Northern Ireland (consist of some hills)
Covered by an ice sheet for most of the last ice
age
Loch Morar is the deepest lake. It's 309 metres
deep.
Largely agriculture, natural beauty, myth and
legend
Substantial uplands with extensive gold
deposits, granite Mourne Mountains and basalt
Antrim Plateau, as well as smaller ranges but
None of the hills are especially high
The volcanic activity also formed the eerily
geometric pillars of the Giant's Causeway on the
north Antrim coast.
II. Land + settlement
Scotland



Is formed by a part of the mainland and several islands.
North of the border with England: southern uplands, sheep
farming
Central plain + strip of east coast extending north: lowland
farmland, 80% population but difficulty in employment
Highlands: moutains, deep valleys, small islands off the west
coast, spectacular natural beauty but fewer than 1 mill live
Glasglow: strong artistic heritage, immigrants from Ireland,
reflects the division in the community
Edinburgh: comparatively middle class image, capital, the
Athens of the North

II. Land + settlement

Wales: Topography is mainly mountain , island
south-east of the country is most heavily populated
Coal has been mined in many parts of Britain, but
just as British people would locate the prototype
factory of the industrial revolution in the north of
England =>locate its prototype coalmine in south
Wales.
Cardiff, the capital of Wales, has a population of
about a quarter of a million.
II. Land + settlement
Wales
A large share of the Welsh population lives in smaller
settlements
Has a relatively low share of its population in large
settlements
The share of the population living in the sparsest
rural areas in wales 15% compared with only
1.5% in England.[3]
Communication between north south difficult :
because of mountain area
